Making an Herbal Face Cream?
Comments (11)another method is to use an emulsifant, a natural and easyly accesable one is alcohol, mix it with the oil then add water either way, good luck, and enjoy hows about adding lavender to one if your recipie(s) dont contain it, then it'll be part face cream part perfume. everyone loves lavender...See MoreGood face cleanser- - -Acne help
Comments (8)littleredhen - I helped a young girl in my office whose acne was flaring constantly - she was using St. Ives. I am Canadian so product choices are different (more limited usually). Eventually she found she could tolerate some of the Vichy products - I think you can get them in the US. Or you could try Cetaphil - my skin is very, very dry so does not work for me. But most important thing for you is to establish a proper skin care routine - and toss the Noxzema. I am 55 and everyone used it when I was a teen but long term use can result in problems later on. Re acne around your mouth, have you considered your tooth paste (tartar control is a devil for this); are you placing a phone received against your mouth - this is known to cause acne - I got around that by placing moleskin around the mouthpiece daily - and cleaning it - and of course pillowcases. Also some foods - acid types such as grapefruit can cause a problem - me for example. jannie - At 55 I feel your pain and I am allergic to most things. I note that you live in NY - maybe check out some of the Erno Laszlo products from the 8:30 clock. Also you might want to avoid moisturizers with a combined SPF - go separate. I use a night cream during day to avoid the combo product....See MoreColored and perfumed face creams :-(
Comments (5)Kim, I thought the same thing about Dove Pro Age. I'm going back to Dove for sensitive skin. Sue, I've been using moisturizers since I was 16, and I'm not stopping now! :-) Paula, those serum products are interesting. I haven't tried the Regenerist, but my daughter bought me one from Estee Lauder. I don't know if it's doing anything for my skin long-term, but it makes it feel like velvet. I also liked a sample of a Clinique serum that I tried....See MoreFace cream recommendation
Comments (26)I hesitate to recommend anything because I admit to being biased and reluctant to change anything about my routine that has worked for me. I do think if you are having very dry skin issues you need to look at more than just moisturizer. Start with basic hydration (are you getting enough water intake, for example, and watch the caffeine, sugar-based drinks). Next look at whatever you are cleaning your face with and make sure it isn't drying. Then look at your moisture regime. Most of us, as we age, need to change up whatever has worked for us in the past. I layer, first using a fruit-acid exfoliant, then a Vitamin-C & E antioxidant serum, and then Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base (day) or Bobbi's Hydrating Intense Night Cream (night). If my face gets really dry I use Bobbi's Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm (I sometimes put some of this on before I go outside to run in the winter). It's not cheap, but I get compliments on my skin all the time. And most of these products last a long time because it doesn't take much. Make sure your makeup isn't giving you a dry look too....See Morealisande
